Olivia is making progress...it is painfully slow, but progress is good. She is now 51 days old, 31 weeks gestational age and weighs 2 lbs 11 oz. She came off the ventilator on Easter Sunday, and to the surprise of the medical team, has done very well. She continues to struggle with her feedings due to her immature GI system, but she is gradually getting increased amounts of formula. As of this morning at 8 o'clock, she is receiving 8 cc (approx 1 1/2 tsp), every 3 hours. Olivia is awake and alert more often, and she loves to be held.
Olivia being held by Daddy for the 1st time.
A view of Liv's face from above-she looks a little scary with the CPAP, but she is really cute!
We figured a comparison to Bitty Baby would give everyone a better perspective of her size.
She is still so very tiny-a little miracle!
